CAN’T MAKE LIVING
IN ALFONSO’S LAND
Madrid, Sept. 11.—Twenty workmen
unions of the town of Bejar have ad
dressed a circular to the presidents of
American republics begging them to
provide ways and means to enable their
members So emigrate and establish
colonics wherever they may be wanted.
The‘reason they give for wanting to
emigrate Is that, though they are In
dustrious, they can not make a living
in Spain. Six hundred families, most
of them skilled cloth-makers, are
ready to emigrate.

liams, of Montgomery, who Is visiting

man James L. Key, Councilman C. M.
Roberts, Dr. C. P. Benson, president

around the city for the abattoir, and
It Is the Intention of those backing-the
enterprise to build there the large
3100,009 plant If the city will give free
rental for the first five years. This

essary expense of extending the water

EXTRY! TREASURY
LOOTED OF ITS ALL
From the homes of the Sisters of
Zion a great walling and gnashing of
teeth arose Monday and not all the
balm of Decatur street has served to
allay the anguish. The treasury of the
sisterhood has been looted and the em
bezzler Is still at large.
Mary Manly, who lives In the rear
of 460 Piedmont avenue, Is the trusted
treasurer of the sisters, for years Sis
ter Manly has been the watchdog of
the treasury which at the last auditing
contained 330 in coin of the realm, two
beer checks and a suspender button.
The funds were kept In Sister Manly’s
own botldolr.
The treasurer was absent Monday
afternoon when a strange negro ap
proached the house. To an inqusltlve
neighbor he explained that he was a
relative of Sister Manly and was going
In to take a nap. Instead he took the
treasury, suspender button and all.
That Is why the Sisters of Zion will
have no celebration at their anniver
sary next week.

Closing,Out Sales of CrocfaeryWare, Chinaware and Glass-

plain words as a matter of information on this occasion.
We have about a ten thousand dollar stock of China and
Crockeryware and it’s going to be sold. We don’t mean
that this is just a common cut-price sale; it is not. We
are going to cut out this department and we are going
to do it quick, and the main feature of the sale will be to
get rid of the goods—for even factory cost will be no ob
ject in this sale. Another thing of interest—we have no
old goods in this stock, nearly everything new. Why,
we are opening up goods now that was bought six
months ago, but it don't matter, everything goes just the
same.
Rockingham English Tea Pots,
regular values of $1.00, will be sold
tomorrow for only 35c.
In Toilet Sets we have some very
lovely patterns—a very great varie
ty indeed, but you can take choice

go like this. American Porcelain,
100 pieces, was $12.50, now $8.50,

$20.00, will go for $14.00.
Austrian China, very pretty, 100
pieces, has always sold for $22.50,
now marked down to $16.00—and so
on through the list. '
$2.00 Jardinieres as long as they
last for only 25, 35 and 50 cents.
We are just opening a large ship
ment of Library and Hall Lamps.
They were bought six months ago,
but j r ou can take choice tomorrow of
any of the lot at a reduction of 331-3
In Cut Glass we have quite a va
riety and some of the best known
cuttings, but just to make quick
work of it this whole line will be cut

Just think of that. Pitchers, Tum
blers, berry bowls, compoi-ts, water
sets and fancy pieces.
Big shipment just in of French
China Dinner Ware—all this week

open stock. Don’t let this line es
cape you.
In _ Glassware we can

lanta. Forinetance, Glass
Pitcher for 35c that has al*
ways sold for 75c. Famous
Colonial Tumblers, regular
price $1.25 dozen, but will

each.
We have hundreds and
hundreds of odds and ends
in this stock, such as
Plaques, imported Vases,
Fancy Lamps, Chocolate
Sets, etc., etc., all of which
will go at almost any price
that suits a customer.
We want to call the ladies’ attention to the fact right
